Might brave the crowds to see the public display down at the park fronting the water here. Missed it last year.
But I have major issues with crowds, so undecided.
Maybe someone will come along and take me to a display.

I believe they are referring to "Guy Fawkes Day" on November 5. It also happens to be my birthday on that day as well.

His day is celebrated because his terroristic plot was thwarted. He was about to do a
"Tim McVeigh" on Parliament in 1604 by blowing it up with gunpowder.

Fun times.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason, and plot. I know of no reason why this act of treason should ever be forgot.

So that is how the rhyme goes. Another goodie for my WP scrap-book.

My vote would have been "other". My family are Brits, but we live in the US. We keep a couple of our fav, small 4th of July fireworks to let off, that is enough to keep us happy.

I love Bonfire Night! Fireworks are great, and after putting up with all the crowds and noise, I can finish the night with a good night's sleep.
